.rblx
Is .rblx a real TLD? Who’s applying to run it?
.rblx is not contested. One application for it is on ICANN’s Reveal Day list, as of 7 October 2026. It is Roblox Corporation.
A company shorthand TLD: handy as Roblox's own short branded namespace, but with no real market for anyone else.
the applicant itself, for short branded links and product or community addresses tied to the Roblox platform; no open buyer group unless registration is extended to creators
The 2012 applications making the most similar bet. Chosen by AI from every string in that round, without being told what happened to any of them.
Both are a single public tech company's four-character ticker/short-form standing in for its full corporate name, a dot-brand bet where the registrant is the only possible user and the string's recognition rests entirely on equity-market and insider shorthand rather than on any dictionary meaning.
Same bet exactly: one corporation claiming its stock-ticker abbreviation alongside its spelled-out brand, so the value proposition is defensive ownership of an identifier nobody else can credibly claim, not an audience that would ever search for the string.
Same kind of buyer and job - one consumer gaming platform putting its primary product identity on a closed dot-brand aimed at a player base - but the string is the product name people actually say, where the target is a ticker abbreviation, so the recognition burden is much lower.
What a .rblx domain is
.rblx is not a TLD yet. It is a string on our record of the ICANN 2026 new gTLD round, filed under Brand. One application for it is on ICANN’s Reveal Day list.
Is the .rblx domain extension real yet?
.rblx is not yet a domain extension you can register: nothing resolves under it, and no registrar sells names in it. It is a string applicants have put forward in the ICANN 2026 new gTLD round, the process that decides whether it becomes one.
When can you buy a .rblx domain?
You can’t yet. ICANN publishes every applied-for string on Reveal Day, 7 October 2026 at 18:00 UTC. A .rblx name can only be registered after that, once the string is delegated and its registry opens.
Is .rblx a real TLD?
Not yet. .rblx is not in the DNS root, so nothing resolves under it. It’s here because .rblx is on ICANN’s Reveal Day list of applied-for strings. Every entry on this page links to its source.

- Band chosen: 10-29 (vanity/narrow). The record shows one confirmed application from Roblox Corporation filed as a brand type, so the string is an abbreviation of a single company name and the operator is the only plausible registrant; its utility is as a short, memorable namespace for that company's own properties, community pages and campaign links. It is not in the 30-49 band because there is no volume or price-driven registration market: a brand-type TLD has no third-party buyers, so there is no aftermarket at all and the 'brand signal' applies to one entity only. It is not in the 1-9 band because the string maps to a widely recognised gaming platform with a very large user and creator community, so addresses on it would carry genuine end-use utility for the operator as a primary or secondary identity over the next 5 years. By analogy (flagged as analogy), most brand TLDs from the earlier round have been used lightly, mainly for redirects and a handful of campaign addresses, while a minority have been moved to as the operator's primary web identity; .rblx would most likely sit in that range. Main market uncertainty: whether the operator uses .rblx as a visible primary identity for the platform or only as a redirect layer, and whether any addresses on it are ever made available to the platform's creators.
